Create individual direct game launchers for Steam

Open abienz opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to add launchers for emulated games to Steam so I don't need to launch RetroDeck?

Ideally I'd like to select favourites to create launchers for and then could run BoilR to bring in cover art.

This would need a way to call ES-DE via CLI and a Steam Rom manager integration. Not sure I will add this feature but I leave it here "just in case".

Having read more of the RetrodDECK documentation I think this feature may not be necessarily in the spirit of what you are trying to achieve here.

RetroDECK is more for the usecase where you got a lot of games and you don't want to flood your Steam
library, but instead keep them in a separated yet quickly accessible environment.

I still think there may be a good use-case to have your favourites accessible, or maybe a 'playlist' of favourite games, that could be accessible in the RetroDECK UI, and then a feature to create Steam shortcuts from that playlist.

Steam Rom Manager integration would be really nice, but if the user could run that manually that would be good too.
